"Lana Lang's Farewell to Earth!": Vartox returns to Earth to take Lana Lang as a bride after he gives her an aura that will allow her to breathe the atmosphere of his homeworld. But unknown to them, and to Superman, they are pawns in a revenge plot of Vartox's first lover.

Quote1 What a fine pair of champions we make, my Kryptonian friend. Both of us hail from supremely advanced races-- Both of us wield the might and power to rend solar systems asunder-- Yet here we both sit, lamenting our mutual vulnerability to a bewitching pair of Earth females. Why is it we cannot solve our own dilemmas as easily as we mend the troubles of others? Quote2
Vartox

Synopsis for The Private Life of Clark Kent: "An Eye (and Ear) on the World!"

Clark Kent is talked by Linda Danvers into doing a cameo on Secret Hearts as himself. When Clark hears an ambulance nearby being stuck in gridlock, he tries and apparently fails to get Linda to change into Supergirl and free it. Instead, he becomes Superman and does it himself. Later, he demands to know why Supergirl didn't handle the crisis. She tells him that she was asking him via super-ventriloquism to handle it for her. Embarrassed that he was not listening to her at the time, Clark apologizes.
